Hey peeps,

I put on the new bar a few days ago and the driving experience has been great but over some bumps im hearing a slight knock. Everything is tight, I was under the car yesterday and I noticed there's a very small amount of room between the Bar / end-links and the spring bucket / arm ( i cant remember the tech term, sorry) and I feel like maybe theres a little rubbing going on.

I have the bar on the stiffer setting, My question is if this is normal, or if its something that comes along with using the stock endlnks, input and opinions welcome. This is my first time upgrading a bar, if done springs in the past but not on this car yet.

Thanks

I ran into this issue on my 15 Civic with an upgraded rear sway but still running OEM Endlinks. Upgraded the endlinks to some better ones and the issue went away.

Grab some accord endlinks. And id reccomend putting washers on either side of the sway bar on each side when installing, to help everything stay in place.
